Story behind the song
Worst president ever, and not high on the human being measure either.
Lyrics
One night you were dreamin’ when you woke up your self screamin’ Cause the trip you took turned into a fall Your pillow, it was soakin’, and you wheezed like you’d been smokin’, But why you got so scared, you can’t recall Turned on the t-v cause you was feelin’ alone And viewing must might help clear the air, but Flippin’ through the channels only led you to groan Though you were amused by Stephen Colbert (Chorus) They’ve got you now, they’ve got you now They’ve got you where they want you, anyhow. The next day you were wired, even though you felt so tired, You almost called in sick at your job Instead you went to punch in, and face the daily crunch in With the regular anonymous mob Even though you weren’t feeling quite up to par You worked your little fingers to the bone Then the boss comes with a pink slip and he takes you aside Saying, “so sorry, son, but you better go home.” (Chorus) It’s time your learned your lesson, cause there’s no more need for guessin’, you’re Just really wrong if you ain’t far right And if you want to get in, they're chekin' the color of your skin To open doors, much better to be white Thanks, Court, for showing all of us the Light! We used to think the Golden Rule was the way to go “Might makes right” was never our creed, but Doin onto others before others do you Is the Orange Man's take on how to proceed (Chorus)
